Fatal Fire, Minquadale, DE

House Fire Kills Boy, 5

On the evening of 12/5/09, New Castle County (DE) fire dispatch toned out a half dozen county stations for a house fire with reported entrapment and a police officer down.

First units arrived to find heavy fire conditions and a report of 4 people still inside. One of the first to be rescued was a badly injured child, who was handed over to county paramedics for the trip to AI duPont Children's Hospital.

The 5 year old boy was pronounced dead at the hospital.

It was the second major blaze for these firefighters within 3 hours, and despite the cold, snowy conditions, firefighters controlled the fire quickly.

These are photos of the mop-up, and the men and women who served at this job.
